         5 . The pixel arrangement structure of  claim 4 , wherein the repeat unit is a regular polygon, and at least one of the first pixel group, the second pixel group and the third pixel group is symmetrically arranged about the diagonal. 
     
     
         6 . The pixel arrangement structure of  claim 5 , wherein in the repeat unit, at least four second sub-pixels and at least four third sub-pixels are symmetrically arranged about the diagonals. 
     
     
         7 . The pixel arrangement structure of  claim 4 , wherein the at least two first sub-pixels in the first pixel group are symmetrically arranged about the diagonal. 
     
     
         8 . The pixel arrangement structure of  claim 4 , wherein the second sub-pixels and the third sub-pixels have the same shape and area. 
     
     
         9 . The pixel arrangement structure of  claim 5 , wherein
